This computer looks sweet. Too bad I'll never buy another Razer product again. Their customer service is sub-par and their product QC is garbage. The Razer Lycosa keyboard and Razer Naga mouse was my own personal experience with them. The keyboard had a defect where keys would just stop working, or the lights would just turn off. The only way to resolve the issue of the keys not working was to unplug the keyboard and reconnect it. I called them about it, and despite it being a known issue, they would not stand behind the keyboard and replace it. They wanted me to go back to the place where I bought it from, which was Newegg. BTW, Newegg stood behind the product even after 30 days past from when I purchased it. The fact that the company would knowingly sell a defective product and then not stand behind it when a customer receives one is pathetic. That's my two pennies.Reply

Only if the Lenovo is on a major sale/rebate, but even at regular pricing... $1200 now for a Lenovo with similar specs (or $1000 or so for a Clevo with similar specs). I guess the R&D for the multi-touch LCD touchpad is a $1500 expense?Reply

Jarred, I think it might be worthwhile to consider that you can buy an Alienware M18x with dual 6990Ms in Crossfire for less than this laptop. The positive aspect of that is you get 2 hard drives (nice for a powerful laptop) and you can actually play games at 1080p with all the bells and whistles. The negative aspect is that the M18x is like lugging around a bag of bricks. :PReply

Don't get me wrong the touch pad is cool. But why not just buy a Falcon Northwest, get custom paint and call it good!?! Where it the esata, hotkey bar, card reader, external out, etc.I could go on for days. A little OLED touch pad thingy isn't going to sway me into buying a jank laptop! Reply

I really like the look and design of this. But you can keep ur fancy screen double touch what not. You can also make it a little thicker. Give me a GTX560M with Optimus, 15.6" 1080p screen. USB 3.0 galore. I'd rather have a 10-key than that thing.

P.S. SO HELP ME if you put blu ray in it!!!!!!!!!!! Just don't, kay? Kay.

Get the price to roughly 1200 bucks and I'd be pretty happy; on like newegg or something.Reply

They charge $2,800 and it doesn't have a SSD standard. This looks big enough to accommodate two drive bays. If that isn't the case they could have at least installed a mSATA SSD for speed and a spinning disk for capacity.Reply

...a gaming laptop taking aesthetics and form factor into account as the cooling system should be the top priority in the design to ensure the machine can cool its high performance hardware efficiently and quietly. I find it frustrating when higher performance machines make concessions for their looks and form factor leaving you with roaring fans and a machine melting through your lap as the cooling system struggles to keep the tempertures down. Some of the older machines were much chunkier which was less aesthetically pleasing but they could cool the laptop down far more effectively and given I buy a gaming laptop for gaming and not to look pretty that's where the priority should be as I doubt most people buy gaming laptops to melt down while gaming and look pretty while not gaming.

This is actually the one point I do think they got things right. Ignoring the dumber-than-a-box-of-rocks asking price for a laptop without an SSD, look at where they placed the vents: there's a wind tunnel that basically blows straight through the chassis, with a clear intake on one side and an exhaust on the other. If nothing else, this should be a big improvement on how laptops are traditionally cooled.Reply

You can get an Alienware M14x with better specs than this for half the price. It weighs less, although it's a bit thicker and has a smaller screen. On the flipside, the GT 555M can actually handle the M14x's 900p, whereas it'll choke on the Razer's 1080p screen.Reply
